Out topic on space is progressing well. The questions raised by the children in our floorbook are being worked on. This week we have been learning about the Solar System and stars. The children have been making constellations using chalk and glow in the dark stickers. It was really exciting to see their creations appear when we went into the dark cupboard!

The children have been really motivated by the Solar System and the orbits of the planets. Some of the children worked co-operatively to produce a giant solar system with others using their free play to produce pictures by themselves. They were able to show the sun as a star and the orbit of the planets. This was entirely child led and they were all so proud of their achievements. Well done everyone!
